Networking

Overview

Networking bridges compute resources, services, and external users. Modern cloud-native networking must balance performance, security, and operational simplicity.

Core Domains

1. Load Balancing – Layer 4 (TCP/UDP) and Layer 7 (HTTP/HTTPS) traffic distribution, health checks, and session persistence.

2. Network Policies & mTLS – Encrypting service-to-service communication, certificate management, and zero-trust network access.

3. CDN & Edge – Content delivery networks, edge computing, and geographic distribution for latency reduction.
